O'Reilly Midwest All Star Series Announces 2007 Schedule

CAMARGO, IL (3-6-07) -- The O'Reilly Midwest All Star Series has released
the 2007 schedule that kicks off the inaugural season at the end of
May. The Midwest All Star Series was formerly known as the Mid-American
Sprint Series and was purchased by the All Stars late last year from
Scott Benic and Joe Darmofal. The purpose of this acquisition was to
rejuvenate winged 410 sprint car racing in the Illinois and Indiana
areas while spreading the All Star brand of racing further West.

Series president Guy Webb, an Illinois native, is excited about the new
series and what he hopes to accomplish by providing a sanctioning body
for the great caliber of drivers in the Midwest. With several tracks
closing, changing ownership, or reducing the number of winged 410
events, Webb saw the need to revive 410 racing in his own back yard.

The inaugural season for the O'Reilly Midwest All Star Series will focus
mainly in the Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri area. This region has
seen a decline in places for these talented 410 drivers to run and the
goal is to provide an opportunity for them to race for a decent purse
and increase the fan base in this area with some good old-fashioned
wheel to wheel All Star action.

"We want to bring back the days of Jim Moughan, Tim and Joey Montgomery,
Jerrod Hull, Manny Rockhold, and the Standridge brothers providing some
of the best racing entertainment for the Illinois fans," said Webb. "We
want to reconnect with the rich history of racing in the Illinois area.
Guys like Jim Moughan, Sr., Chuck Amati, Cliff Cockrum, Bubby Jones, and
Jerry Blundy. Those are the guys I enjoyed watching as a fan," Webb
continued. "I want to be able to re-create some of that excitement in
the Midwest region with real sprint car racing -- winged 410 sprints."

A new web site is also in the works for the series and will be
maintained separately from the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions
web site, although the two will be inter-linked. News and information,
along with race reports and stats, will be maintained for both sites by
Black Swamp Media Group who provides several services for both groups.
